Birds have naturally high blood glucose levels compared to mammals, typically 200-400 mg/dL. This is normal for their high metabolic rate and is not a sign of diabetes as it would be in humans or dogs.
Hypoglycemia in birds can be serious and may result from starvation, liver disease, sepsis, or pancreatic tumors. Small birds like finches and canaries are especially prone to hypoglycemia if they miss a meal.
This is an urgent finding. Provide immediate access to food and seek veterinary attention. Your vet will investigate the underlying cause.
Avian glucose: 160 mg/dL (Low)Birds have naturally high blood glucose levels compared to mammals, typically 200-400 mg/dL. This is normal for their high metabolic rate and is not a sign of diabetes as it would be in humans or dogs.
No action needed. Bird glucose levels are normally much higher than mammalian levels.
Avian glucose: 310 mg/dLMild elevations can result from stress (handling, restraint) or a recent meal. True hyperglycemia is less common in birds but can occur with pancreatic disease or certain infections.
Your veterinarian will consider stress as a factor. If persistent elevation is seen, further pancreatic testing may be recommended.
